From the University School of Jackson –

The USJ community is devastated to share the news of the unexpected passing of Upper School English teacher Rob Platt.

Rob was an outstanding teacher with USJ for over 12 years who cared very deeply about the success and well-being of each and every one of his students.

We will all remember him for his love of music, which he shared with us at Friday night football games, and the great attention and care he gave to building relationships with his students and peers.

He is greatly missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this most difficult time.

Service arrangements will be shared once they are available.

A GoFundMe account has been set up for the family’s immediate needs.
